Cascade Falls

This picturesque San Anselmo public park with community gardens, paths, outdoor fireplaces, and lush grass welcomes pets.

On the wonderful, leisurely trek around this magnificent lake, pets are welcome on a leash. Keep your eyes peeled for some of the local fauna.

On-leash pets are accepted on selected hiking trails in this lovely park, which includes spectacular waterfalls.

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Old Railroad Grade Trail, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Mill Valley! A parking spot with easy access to the Old Railroad Grade Trail is shown on the map below.

This enclosed, off-leash dog park has a kiddie pool, flowing water, shade areas, waste stations, and a plethora of cheerfully donated tennis balls for your pet to toss.

Leashed dogs are accepted on paved roads, parking lots, campgrounds, and picnic areas in Mount Tamalpais State Park. Only dogs are permitted in these places. Deep gorges, sweeping slopes, cool redwood forests, oak woodlands, and open grasslands make up the State Park. Petzooie must sleep in a tent or a truck at night. From 7 a.m. to sunset, Mount Tamalpais State Park is open. There is no entrance fee; however, many trailhead parking fees are only payable in cash.
